Anaheim Automation releases the HMI-KCO-MT4230T, their new $99.00 human machine interface. One of the most competitively priced HMIs on the market; it offers the same features as a standard HMI, at a fraction of the cost.

Anaheim Automation now offers the most competitively priced human machine interface on the market. Recently released, the new HMI-KCO-MT4230T (http://www.anaheimautomation.com/products/hmi/color-display-item.php?sID=347&serID=2&pt=i&tID=998&cID=414) HMI delivers comparable features to their other line of HMIs, at a price that is easily affordable - just $99. At first glance the HMI's low price makes it appear to have only the bare minimum capabilities. However, the HMI can perform the same functions as other HMIs in its class, the only difference being its size. The HMI has a compact screen size of 4.3 inches, and stands only 33mm thick.

This new human machine interface grants users access to a memory map of the controller. It allows for flexibility and total control of field devices; by adding an HMI to an existing system the user can gain full control of their current standalone system, making their static application completely dynamic. The internal workings of the PLCs are visible and the functions are changeable. It allows for a quick and easy change on the factory floor, adding convenience while and saving the user time. Additionally, the HMI allows for easy connectivity to virtually all major PLCs on the market so integration is seamless.

Anaheim Automation is excited about this new offering. Their $99.00 HMI performs all of the exact same functions as the standard HMI, which can cost around $1,000.00. The easy-to-use software that accompanies the HMI is free of charge and available to download online, making the cost to prototype this HMI even cheaper. Furthermore, integration into an existing application involves far less risk due to the low cost of the unit. Anaheim Automation ensures that the quality of their HMI, like all other products they manufacture and distribute, abides by their strict quality standards, so their users can be assured that the construction of their HMI is not sacrificed with the low cost. The combination of quality, cost, and functionality that this new unit delivers is why Anaheim Automation is considering this the cornerstone of their HMI product line (http://www.anaheimautomation.com/marketing/hmi-plc/human-machine-interfaces.php). They are hoping the introduction of this new unit opens the door to a larger market for their programming and communication interface product line.

The ST Robotics Workspace Sentry robot and area safety system are based on a small module that sends an infrared beam across the workspace. If the user puts his hand (or any other object) in the workspace, the robot stops using programmable emergency deceleration. Each module has three beams at different angles and the distance a beam reaches is adjustable. Two or more modules can be daisy chained to watch a wider area. "A robot that is tuned to stop on impact may not be safe. Robots where the trip torque can be set at low thresholds are too slow for any practical industrial application. The best system is where the work area has proximity detectors so the robot stops before impact and that is the approach ST Robotics has taken," states President and CEO of ST Robotics David Sands.
